Also, the distance between the E strings can be different as well....perhaps further explanation is required with an example...

You can have two guitars with 1 11/16th neck width at the nut but have the string spacing different at the nut on each because they could have different nuts; however both designed for 1 11/16 necks. Ex. One nut could have a 36.5mm space between the E strings while another could have a 34.95mm space between the E strings. The first one will have the strings closer to the ends of the frets and more space between each, the other will have the strings further from the edge of the fretboard and bunched closer together. Same nut size but they will have a different feel.

We are talking small increments but you can feel very small changes.
